My Project

In a previous DonorsChoose project, STEM students at LHS were lucky enough to receive fidget toys to help create a stress-free environment by giving them small objects to fidget with.

Our current students need a refill of our fidget toys to help remove barriers that may exist because they cannot focus or are anxious.

As a STEM team, we want to be able to continue to create a stress-free environment where students feel that they can be themselves and help them access the curriculum with a small, but meaningful helping hand.
